Small Group Meeting on "Extreme Emotions in Human Interaction"
Organized by Marte Otten, Agneta Fischer & Kai Jonas
University of Amsterdam
Extreme emotions, both positive and negative, have far-reaching consequences for intra-personal, inter-personal and intergroup processes. Research into the characteristics and consequences of extreme emotions such as hate, humiliation or exuberance show that these emotions can fuel intergroup conflict and violence, tear apart or strengthen relationships, and influence basic cognitive functions such attention or perception.
With this meeting, we aim to bring together researchers from different fields of social psychology, including the study of emotion, intergroup processes, interpersonal relationships, individual differences, and cultural psychology, but also social cognition and neuroscience, who study the characteristics and consequences of extreme emotional experiences. The aim of the meeting is to further the understanding of the processes that underlie (the consequences of) extreme emotions, and establish a theoretical framework for future research. Two keynote presentations will be given by Eran Halperin, Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy and Strategy at IDC Herzliya, and Eddie Harmon-Jones, Texas A&M University.
We are asking submissions from both junior and senior researchers who are interested in contributing to this small group meeting. There are a limited number of presentation and poster slots available. Please indicate in your submission which format you would prefer. We plan to host a single session format with ample time for presentation and discussion.
The meeting will take place in beautiful Amsterdam, from June 24 until June 26, 2012. Amsterdam can be easily reached via plane, or high-speed trains from within Europe, and lends itself nicely as a hub for further travel. The participation fee is 120 Euro (60 euro for PhD-students).
If you are interested in participating, please send an email including title and abstract (max. 250 words), the format of presentation (talk or poster), and your contact details to Marte Otten (m.otten@uva.nl) before 31 January 2012.
